Amazing

this is how it should have ended :)

Would you want to make a sequel? This was a good short fic. Totally loved it.

This story is absolutely perfect. Nothing to improve on, everything is just brilliant. It's nice to see someone develop the character of Hicks, rather than that of Ripley. It's a nice change. You did a wonderful job portraying the thoughts and emotions of Hicks. I loved the "almost-happy" ending. Though I'd love to rave on and on about how beautiful this story was, I find it just too good for words. Phenomenal.

A friend of mine told me to read this and I'm quite happy now that I did. It's good! Exactly the kind of almost happy ending that these three would have deserved!

*love* yes this would have been a VERY nice happy ending :D Thanks for writing!

Hey-you are not the only one who feels the way you do about Ripley and Hicks! I found this story by happy accident and i really enjoyed it. I hope you can do more, even one-shots if not a whole story. You've got good writing talent in the description department-don't let it go to waste!

Although it was too short, in my opinion, I thought this was well-written, entertaining, and most important, credible. I've been looking for a good Ripley/Hicks story, and this is spot on. Nicely done.

Because every true alien fan wanted to throw something at their TV after watching Alien 3. (Actually I snapped my Alien 3 DVD in my Quadrilogy set)

Lovelovelove! This is how it ended in my mind!

Your wrote Hicks so well, and I love the sweetness throughout the entire thing. Write more, please?

I'm tossing around some ideas for my own fanfic, but I suck ass at writing, so it may end up being written by whoever I can pawn the story off on T_T. It will take place after Alien Resurrection (I know, I know), but in typical Sci-Fi fashion Hicks and Newt will have been frozen for all of the years due to a Weyland-Yutani scheme. Eventually they will meet up with Ripley 8 and the Betty crew though, because while A:R was pretty bad, Ripley 8 was an interesting character...

Write more!~

Do you know how hard it is to find a Hicks/Ripley fic ? Well I'll tell you : it's impossible. You can't find one. I think there may be two other fics about them. So really, THANK YOU for writing that. It was such a beautiful piece, I loved how you wrote it from Hicks' point of view. It's... angsty sweetness ? Sweet angstiness ? I loved it, and I loved your 'happy ending'. They would've made such a beautiful family. I'm glad you made Newt fit there too

But really, it was really good. You should write another one and spread some really needed Hicks/Ripley love !

I'm going to pretend THIS is how the story ended and that that pos Aliens 3 never existed. Beautiful work and a instant favorite.

Wow, that was AWESOME! It was very sweet, and very realistic. I can totally see the whole thing, every word, happening - that is, if Alien 3 didn't screw everything up (I was so excited when Hicks actually survived at the end of Aliens...and then BAM! Alien 3 )

I really like how you kept it down to earth and very human, like how the nightmares didn't magically go away. Anyways, thanks for writing this, because Alien/Aliens fanfiction is so hard to come by, let alone something really good like this.

Whee! I loves it :D Yes, its totally the happy ending I want for our Ripley :)

"It felt great. It felt silly, kind of embarrassing and utterly normal. He was living with a woman he was attracted to and he was thinking about her naked. It was a relief to feel so mundane." - Fave bit I must say. Made me smile lots.

And finally, you are posting some of your amazingness online...Well cept for TLAD, but that don't count cus I'm sullying it :p
